NEWS:

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was elected the 46th president of the United States on Saturday, promising to restore political normalcy....

with my pardner, @alexburnsNYT >

Seeking the nation’s highest office a half-century after his first campaign, Mr. Biden — a candidate in the late autumn of his career — presented his life of setback and recovery to voters as a parable for a wounded country.
Mr. Biden’s victory amounted to a repudiation of Mr. Trump by millions of voters exhausted with his divisive conduct and chaotic administration, and was delivered by an unlikely alliance of women, people of color, old and young voters and a sliver of disaffected Republicans.
Here's one way to look at this election: After four years of a president so divisive he couldn't even go to what are effectively state funerals, the country elected our eulogist-in-chief, a Democrat who's honored Republicans and Democrats alike

Keep an eye on that Pa count this am, especially along the Schuylkill
and speaking of, here’s a pic of two people who, should Biden win, will have played a major role in his election:

@WhipClyburn + @BobBradyPHL, pictured here during the 2016 convention (yes, Brady is blowing kisses)
What @JakeSherman wants to know - will a Senate man ever be able to fully accept the debt he owes to House folks ?

A snapshot of the race for platinum subscribers:

Trump won @Harpootlian4SC Columbia-area state senate district by four points in 2016

Biden now leads Trump there by four, per a poll conducted this week for Dick.
another snapshot, for our gold subscribers....

Republican surveys had McSally competitive in Ariz

Then the Trump-Biden happened

Now she + Trump have plummeted

.@MarthaMcSally takes opening q on Trump getting virus and....unspools oppo file on @CaptMarkKelly, including his work w China

He says she “attack(ed) my patriotism,” immed likens McSally attack to her calling @kyrstensinema a traitor at 2018 debate

a prickly open in the🌵
“he’s chuck schumer’s star recruit,” says @MarthaMcSally of @CaptMarkKelly

fact check: true.

but...this is sorta the problem for her!
McSally repeatedly asked if she’s proud of her support for Trump

She won’t say. “I’m proud to be fighting for Arizona every single day”

Kelly says his conduct is “not acceptable”

But he doesn’t want to say Trump’s name either, pivots to healthcare and laments the tax bill.

An ugly melee unheard of in modern American presidential debates

w @alexburnsNYT>

nytimes.com/2020/09/29/us/…
The president’s bulldozer-style tactics represented an extraordinary risk for an incumbent who’s trailing Mr. Biden in large part because voters, including some who supported him in 2016, are so fatigued by his near-daily attacks and outbursts
Recall our polling from the weekend: even 40% of Republicans support mandatory masking if ya can't distance.

Yet the president belittled Biden for frequently wearing a mask & mocked his own adviser, Fauci , on the matter.

Totally disconnected from where voters are on this
